📜 History

Singapore was a Malay fishing village before Sir Stamford Raffles established a British trading post (1819). It became a crown colony and major port. Japanese occupation (1942-1945) was traumatic. Post-war, Singapore joined Malaysia briefly (1963-1965) before gaining independence.

Under Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore transformed from a developing port to a first-world nation through education, anti-corruption measures, and economic planning. Today Singapore is a global success story—tiny nation, major economy, and model of Asian development from third world to first in one generation.
